Glitched lighting

Post by DMAN » 19 Feb 2016, 12:08

Bug Description: Destroying the colony lights seemly can cause a glitch to appear.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Destroy colony lights.
2.Randomly have one glitch.
3.Hello, darkness, my old friend?
Edit: marines who have lights, which would be all sane marines, leave a glitched light when devoured. If regurgitated and moved, the light will move back to them.

Can confirm. First time I've seen this happen was last night.

It seems it wasn't the colony light it was a marine's light. When you devour a marine with a flashlight, armor light, or both the light stays, probably until they dissolve or maybe until the round ends. It's kind of a thorn in the alien team's side.

Yea the marine light bug is known > viewtopic.php?f=116&t=4066

But according to the screenshot... it doesn't look like the light came from a marine, considering the origin of the light source. It seems to be centered around the broken floodlight, which marines can't stand on in normal situations. This never happened to me in the past though. Weird indeed...

I have seen a similar bug with the cargo train trolley in the western area near the caves.
I melted it and at one point came back to see that area producing light.
Would you say I should make a bug report for that as well?

You can't really tell since it's warped in tile placing a bit, but I don't think it's coming from the colony floodlight.

Goddamn, people, you have problems with an eye estimation.

It's light source is exactly on tile of floodlight.

If it happens again, tell the admin to check variables of the floodlight, and check the "luminosity" var, then post it here.
